Ikram Ali was sentenced at Reading Crown Court on Thursday for a drugs offence

A Newtown drug dealer has been jailed for two years.

Ikram Ali, 24, of Gas Works Road was sentenced at Reading Crown Court yesterday after pleading guilty to one count of possession with intent to supply heroin.

Ali was arrested on April 8, 2013, and later charged on October 1, of the same year.

Investigating officer, Detective Constable Emma Wright said: “This sentence should act as a reminder to potential offenders that Thames Valley Police and the Crown Prosecution Service have a zero tolerance approach to drugs offences. Those who do offend will be charged and sent to court.”
